VW and MINI challenge Ferrari for drop-top residuals
Residual values of used cabriolets rose by 5% in May, according to EuroTax Glasss, who put the rise in residuals down to the good weather in spring.
Mass-market models such as the Volkswagen Eos held on to a greater proportion of their value than premium brands such as Lexus and Maserati, according to the figures.
The Ferrari F430 Spider held onto 97% of its value over 12 months, with the 2-litre TDi Sport Eos retaining 94%.
In joint third are the Porsche Boxster S and Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG on 87%, followed by the MINI Cooper S Convertible, the Audi RS4 Cabriolet, and the Jaguar XK Convertible.
Rounding off the Top 10 are the Porsche 911 3.8 Carrera S Convertible, the Aston Martin DB9 Volante Convertible, and the Mazda MX-5 1.8 Convertible and BMW 330d Convertible.
